Fraqueza
A fraqueza humana não é fraqueza diante de Deus. Pelo contrário, é na nossa fragilidade que o poder de Cristo se aperfeiçoa. Deus escolhe os fracos para confundir os fortes.
Poder na fraqueza
A minha graça te basta, pois o meu poder se aperfeiçoa na fraqueza. Quando sou fraco, então é que sou forte.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for youi: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Moshiach [Messiah] may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Moshiach [Messiah]’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
For God-The Father has not given us the Spirit [Ruach] of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
I can do all things through Moshiach [Messiah] which strengthens me.
Deus cuida dos fracos
O Senhor está perto dos que têm o coração quebrantado. Ele dá poder aos fracos e renova a força dos cansados.
He gives power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increases strength.
My flesh and my heart fails: [but] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [is] the strength of my heart, and my portion forever.
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.
"Come unto me all you who are weary and who are enduring labour, and I will help you to bear your yoke"
Compaixão e intercessão
O Espírito intercede por nós com gemidos inexprimíveis. Jesus compreende nossas fraquezas porque foi tentado como nós.
Likewise the Spirit [Ruach] also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit [Ruach] itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
For we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tried or tested like as [we are, yet] without sin.
"Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation, because truly the Spirit [Ruach] is ready to go to its creator, but the flesh is weak and sick".
A merry heart does good [like] a medicine: but a broken spirit dries the bones.
Open youi mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.
